Bowling Green's Trace Terry Named to Hermann Trophy Watch List

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Bowling Green's Tracy Terry has been named to the 2025 Hermann Trophy Watch List as the regular season officially gets underway on Thursday.

Terry, who was previously placed on the United Soccer Coaches' Forwards to Watch list, is one of 29 student-athletes across Division I men's soccer to land a spot on the Hermann Trophy preseason list.

The Hermann Trophy is presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club and is the nation’s highest individual honor recognizing the National Player of the Year as determined by voting of Division I head coaches who are members of United Soccer Coaches. It is named in honor of the late Robert Hermann, the legendary St. Louis, Mo., businessman and soccer executive who founded the National Professional Soccer League, the first pro soccer league in the United States which became the North American Soccer League. He was inducted in the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in 2012.

The 2025 watch list was compiled by members of the Division I Men’s All-America Council from a list of returning 2024 All-Americans and First Team All-Region players. A total of 15 players will be named 2025 Hermann Trophy semifinalists on December 9 at the conclusion of NCAA Division I All-American voting. From that list, head coaches will cast votes, and three players will be named finalists. The 2025 recipient will be announced January 9, 2026, in a ceremony at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in downtown St. Louis.
